PinocytosisPhagocytosisWhen particles considerably larger than biomolecules are ingestedUses vesiclesAlso called "cellular drinking"When receptor proteins recognize specific surface characteristics of

substances to be incorporated into the cellInvolves the capture of fluidsAlso called "cellular eating"Used by cells to eject waste material into the outside environmentCells expelling materials in vesicles

Exocytosis and endocytosis are both processes involving the movement of materials into or out of a cell using vesicles. Exocytosis is the process by which cells expel materials in vesicles, while endocytosis is the process by which cells ingest materials using vesicles. Both processes play important roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and functionality.
